What is a 340 block worth

What condition? Rebuilt? Dirty but known to be good? I too have an original '70 340, heads, intake & exhaust that I need to move but don't know prices. The engine & heads came with the car but I don't know what may be wrong with them.

A grand or there about I have seen. Sometimes $750 . I would think it is determined on condition, a standard bore is valuable or a fresh overbore second valuable if it is punched out and cant be cleaned up even less etc.

Stock bore 340 blocks around here can fetch $1000
A mil maybe a mil 5.

The thing that sucks about buying unknown blocks is you can’t tell if it’s good or not till it is magged / sonic tested at the machine shop after you dropped 500-1000 bucks on it....

Nothing. I'll come pick it up so you don't throw your back out putting in the recycle bin.
Too much any more. There are some well wishers out there. I saw a complete 69 340 with matching 727 for $5k. It was sitting in the bed of a shitty old truck with a tarp over it. Seen a guy asking $1k for core X-Heads, because we all know how they are better than all the other 340 and 360 heads....

Like said depends on condition. Keep in mind if you dont have the internals they add up also.
you're a little low there fella. lol 2-2.5 mil is the going rate.
to me a 340 block is worth 200 hundred bucks. not one penny more.
Because I don't do small blocks.

68 through 70 standard bore 340 in good rebuildable condition will fetch around 700 to $1000 in my neck of the woods. I realize there's no difference in the early and later model blocks but they do seem to demand a little more money and standard bore well that's icing on the cake. People will spend $500 for a carburetor.
Pesos?
$500.00 - $800.00. Kim

It’s always good to have spares... get some engine foger and a bag....

Why would anyone ever sell a 340? You take them to your Grave with you before you part with them. Screw the next guy. I better get a big Grave. I have 7 of them.

How about posting the vin numbers on your 7 blocks? Guys are trying to reunite engines and transmissions back to the original cars they came in. You could help reunite them and make a new friend along with some cash...Why would anyone ever sell a 340? You take them to your Grave with you before you part with them. Screw the next guy.
